"I love this guy.

I am in my sixth decade of life and have had many teachers over the years. I can say without reservation that Rob is an excellent teache

r. He is friendly and always available. He pushes but not too hard and will teach you whatever you want to learn. He will teach you theory or how to read music or easy ways to learn songs via the internet. All you have to do is practice.I don't think you could find a better teacher in Austin."

"Great Violin Lessons

Diane is a great Teacher.We are very pleased that she is teaching our young daughter (12) to play the Violin. At the beginning we w

ere a little bit nervous since this was the first time for my daughter to be in contact with music and it turned out to be great.Diane has been very supportive, always finding better ways to reinforce the lessons and making sure her students understand every practice objective. She is patience, very flexible and she always emphasizes the importance of having fun while one learns to play an instrument. She works hard to prepare and keep a good record of every single lesson.We are excited, but most important, our daughter is enjoying learning to play the violin. Thanks Diane!"

"Gary taught me piano for over three years. Had I not had to move to another state, I would be continuing to take lessons from this very fine and happy pi

ano teacher. He gave me honest feedback about my playing and has a great approach and attitude. He seemed to know how to help me bring out my best, especially with performing in front of others. I was sad to leave. I think Gary would be helpful to anyone wanting to learn to play the piano or wanting to play the piano better."

"Jon is a wonderful teacher! I have been playing violin all my life but never learned theory. I told Jon what I wanted to learn, and every week he has so

mething prepared that helps me learn just what I want. He is patient and encouraging. When I bring something in that I want to work on, not on his lesson plan, we spend time on that too. I am very pleased with my lessons with Jon. And he's nice, fun, and friendly."

Review by Scott

"Instructor was very helpful

I am an experienced drummer that got back into playing 2 years ago after a 15 year hiatus. I called Take Lessons to get an in

structor that could look at my playing abilities and help me learn where my deficiencies were and work on them.It was really great getting to know Justin, with his insight and ability to see what was going on with me, I was able to get focused and overcome those deficiencies or at least work on them.He gave me a new direction to go with my rehearseal time that I hadn't yet thought of. I will help with my speed and accuracy.I'm really glad that I called and am happy to call Justin a new friend."

Review by Red

"Brian is a wonderful teacher! This was my first string instrument and he has done a great job teaching me all the fundamentals. Everything I need to know

down to how to hold the violin. He is very articulate while teaching and extremely encouraging when I do something wrong. I am still only beginning but I can already see his expertise. I am excited to advance further and learn everything he has to offer."

5 Games for Teaching Kids Piano

Piano is considered an umbrella instrument, meaning, teaching kids to play piano helps them understand music more thoroughly, no matter what instrument they want to play later on. Even most singers first learn the basics of music theory and notation on the piano. Piano lessons at an early age lay out the basics of music-making in black and white (quite literally!). The great news is that you don't need to know anything about playing piano to inspire your children to want to learn. Below are a ha
